The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 398 The Cursed Heavenly Emperor, His Later Years Unknown

The resources consumed in opening up this cave were enough to sustain the entire Upper Caveman tribe for a year's cultivation. Of course, this did not include Luo Zu and the two celestial beings.

Therefore, some elders hoped that Luo Zu could contribute more to help the Upper Cave Man open up more cave heavens, but most elders still hoped that the Upper Cave Man could open them up on his own, preferably one person opening up one cave heaven, or at least a blessed land.

In short, the plan to create 129,600 blessed lands and grotto-heavens is also fraught with obstacles. The problem lies in the resources needed to create these grotto-heavens, and also in the limited number of cultivators capable of doing so.

Therefore, the difficulties involved are truly perplexing for many people.

However, in addition to this plan, the Upper Cave Man had other contingency plans, such as the previously determined plan to create a god race.

Although if a god race were to evolve from the human race, the rest of the human race who do not have this talent would probably have to part ways with it in the future, which could lead to a great disaster.

At that time, God will no longer belong to man, and man will no longer possess God. The two will be in opposition, turning into a critical situation of confrontation between God and man.

However, the plan to create a god race still needs to be pushed forward. Currently, the plan is actually going quite smoothly. The Upper Cave Man sent Yu to the Pig-faced Octopus group to go deep into the group, select usable individuals, and then breed and reproduce them to create the best believer species.

This was also a plan that Luo Zu had given him, and Yu had been carrying it out ever since.

Now, eight hundred years later, he has selected and bred thirteen pig-faced, eight-clawed variants, whose belief can even surpass that of the human race.

These subspecies of pig-faced, eight-clawed creatures are still being cultivated in the cave, as Yu wants to cultivate species that are more suitable for divine cultivation.

In order for Yu's plan to continue, and also for Luo Zu's plan to create a god race, the tribe sent another 30,000 people to study the matter with him.

In addition, half of these 30,000 people were there to keep Yu in check, since Yu had a criminal record and the tribal elders had to be wary of him.

Moreover, Yu's methods in the past were extraordinary. Ordinary elders would probably not be his match. Therefore, the older generation of elders who followed Luo Zu in the early days to overcome all obstacles and establish the current Upper Caveman tribe were invited, such as Zhi and Shi. Their lifespans have exceeded the human race's thousand-year limit, and their cultivation has reached the sixth grade of True Immortal or above. They can be called high-grade True Immortals, which is enough to restrain Yu, who is close to the Heavenly Immortal.

Of course, their worries were unfounded, since the true form of Luo Zu was currently stationed here, so what was there to fear or worry about Yu causing trouble again?

However, Luo Zu was indeed too lazy to pay attention to such conspiracies and schemes. But as the Upper Cave Man had developed to this point, people's hearts had changed, and they no longer had the pure and kind mind they once had. There was deceit and treachery outside the tribe, and there was also infighting and mutual harm within the tribe.

One person can have countless thoughts, let alone hundreds of billions of people today.

Fortunately, the moral principles established by Luo Zu in the past were not abandoned, so although there were some minor flaws, the Upper Cave Man was generally "good".

After all, intrigue and scheming are common problems among most intelligent species.

Having observed so many intelligent beings in the primordial world, Luo Zu had not seen many with pure and innocent hearts.

With his thoughts settled on this matter, Luo Zu stopped thinking about it and focused on planning the direction of Kunlun Mountain.

Back when he was at Wuzhuang Temple, the Sage Taiqing entrusted Zhen Yuanzi to deliver a token to Kunlun Mountain, which he could then use to travel to Kunlun Mountain.

As for where Kunlun Mountain is, it is 300 million light-years away to the west of Luoxiang.

Such a distance is enough to fill thousands of galaxies.

If Luo Zu wanted to travel to that place, it would take hundreds or thousands of years.

There may be many unexpected events along the way, such as when he went on a long journey to Buzhou Mountain to see the scenery.

However, there's no need to consult with the clansmen about this matter. After all, few in the clan possess the ability to traverse the void, let alone cross such a distance. Only Ancestor Luo could accomplish that.

However, there is another problem during this process. Crossing the void will inevitably cause spatial disturbances, which will affect the Great Dao, spiritual energy, and even the material world. Therefore, if one's physical strength is insufficient, one is very likely to be injured or even die during the spatial disturbances caused by crossing the void.

Therefore, although this event was announced to all the cavemen, very few people were actually qualified to go. A large portion of the clansmen were eliminated. Those who remained either possessed extraordinary talents, supernatural abilities, or strong physical bodies, or had sufficient cultivation to withstand such spatial disturbances.

Perhaps this is what the Three Pure Ones meant by being destined for something.

Fate is something that seems to exist yet also seems to not exist. It is elusive yet somehow predetermined, inexplicable and indescribable, and it is the most unbearable thing.

Even Luo Zu can't grasp the tail of the word "fate" now.

He could only deduce and calculate various variables in the myriad realms of his mind, and then calculate the so-called karmic law.

With more variables and a more complex future, the path of destiny becomes harder to find.

Keluozu didn't really care about this matter. Fate is predetermined, and freedom is innate. He let it be.

However, the situation in the myriad realms of the mind has now entered a strange state of calm.

The Heavenly Emperor summoned the Spirit of the Artifact Realm, a half-step spiritual treasure, which forcefully hindered the offensive of the Heavenly Demon General, who held great power in the Heavenly Demon Realm, and even severely injured him. However, the Heavenly Demon General then sacrificed the living beings of a region in the mortal world, and also took away the remaining blessed lands and grottoes in the mortal world, and then sacrificed them all, ultimately turning into a shocking curse.

"The Cursed Heavenly Emperor will face an ominous end!!"

Such a curse is truly vicious, but it seems to be of little use. After all, the Heavenly Emperor Yang is already a Xuanxian, living as long as the immortals. What does he mean by old age?

So it seems that the curse was set up in vain, and all the losses were wasted.

However, people soon realized something was wrong; to be precise, the Heavenly Emperor, who was in charge of the Immortal Realm, was the first to notice something amiss.

Three thousand years after the curse was issued, it seems to be coming true.

His lifespan is already nearing its end.

After the Heavenly Emperor had this feeling, the other Immortal Venerables and Heavenly Venerables residing in the Immortal Realm also had the same feeling.

Then came the various celestial officials, celestial immortals, true immortals, and those who had refined their ethereal powers and merged with the Dao…

None could escape it; all were destined for a life of decline and decay. Even if they escaped from the immortal realm, this curse would still follow them relentlessly.

The immortals of the celestial realm were deeply moved by this and were naturally filled with indignation. They decided to seek out the Heavenly Demon Commander, firstly to lift the curse, and secondly to avenge this great disgrace.

However, when the celestial army launched a full-scale attack on the Heavenly Demon Realm, they encountered an ambush by the demons of the Heavenly Demon Realm lurking in the sea of ​​the heart.

In the end, the immortals of the celestial realm could only return defeated, leaving behind many of their compatriots.

After this battle, the Heavenly Demon Realm did not pursue their victory. The reason for this was later discovered by the immortals of the Celestial Realm. The Heavenly Demon General had been seriously injured by the Spirit of the Artifact Realm years ago and had been in a deep sleep ever since. The Heavenly Demon Lords had long wanted to seize his divine powers, so they searched extensively for his hiding place.

After the celestial army was ambushed and severely damaged, they actually found the place where the Heavenly Demon General was recuperating. Then, disregarding the celestial army, they returned to the Heavenly Demon Realm to seek trouble for the Heavenly Demon General.

In the end, the Heavenly Demon General had no choice but to emerge from seclusion and fight hundreds of battles with the Heavenly Demon Lords, who were like vicious wolves. In the end, both sides were severely injured, many Heavenly Demon Lords died, and the Heavenly Demon General also passed away peacefully.

The Heavenly Demon Realm became much quieter, while the Immortal Realm gradually withered away, which could be considered a different kind of mutual destruction.

The human realm was able to recuperate, but the remnants of the great war between the immortals and demons of yesteryear still lingered in the human realm, inevitably leading it into the Dharma-ending Age.

From this point on, there was no other way to cultivate in the human world, only pure martial arts remained.
